I discovered yesterday that they no longer sell 16 ounce containers of ricotta cheese. They're all now 15oz or 30oz. So if you have a recipe that needs four cups of cheese you have to either adjust the rest of the recipe down or deal with having a 1/4 cup less cheese than you really need.
Fuck capitalism.
This is literally "buying gems" in free to play games never amounting to the cost of a typical item, slightly under or over.
Someone gave me a Hello Fresh gift code. It doesn't fully cover the large meal plan so I have the choise of paying 5 bucks extra or taking the smaller deal and leaving money in the table
Ask them to refund the rest
You're not leaving money on the table if you take the smaller deal. If you buy the large meal plan, you were successfully manipulated into buying something you wouldn't have considered otherwise.
You could buy 240 containers of ricotta cheese and 60 cups of cheese that way you'll have the exact amount you need.
This is the Hebrew National 7 hot dog to 8 hot dog bun pack solution.
That's a lot of lasagna...
They're doing the same thing with sauces and broths. Assholes.
You can always just have more or less cheese in the recipe. Or use the leftover cheese for something else later.
I'm not defending capitalism here, just defending cheese.
less cheese leftover cheese
I see those words but I don‘t understand any of them
This is why we need an ISO Toilet Paper Standard.
There are several:
Yet there seems to be no standard for the size or number of sheets in a roll.
Nah, ISO fucks and I fuck with ISO
hmm, this is more like realizing your preferred language doesn't have a word for a thing and deciding you want one.
Or just buy a bidet spray. Simple to install, no waste of paper and you can control the angle without having to touch the crevices.
I like my bidet, but I have no interest in letting my labia drip-dry so I will continue to buy toilet paper thank you.
Are you walking away with wet butt? I have to dry with at least 2 squares post bidet
My fancy bidet air dries.
I mean, I still wipe but I just wanted to flex over my bidet that blasts warm air all over my booty hole.
Bidet towel? Just clean the bottom real good and all you have to do is just pat-dry it. Am I going to meet more people who aren't aware of this?
im not going to risk a towel in case I need a couple more sprays haha
You could put the towel in the wash if you're initially doing poor job of cleaning.
Many more people yes. Bidets and their concepts are not well known in most of western countries.
All these brands talking about how much length of tp there is, but they're cutting the width. So now tp rolls are stumpy and small
Just floss your cheeks, bro.
Bro, rolls are TINY now. They used to fill up the width of my holder, and now they fill up less than 60%. They've just cut off 40% of the product lol.
Hmm is the average toilet paper roll empty?
If you account for all rolls that ever existed, it's pretty close to empty
Just pick the ply you want and look at the sq.ft. of the roll. Odds are you want the most length per roll.
It usually says price per total area, but this whole thing is why I just buy the recycled ones. If someone's going to cheat me it may as well be for a good cause.
I usually just buy half a roll or so at a time from the guy behind the mcdonalds drive through.
It's just meaningless marketing.

We need a new metric standard. Introducing the 💩.
112.6 standard rolls = 1k💩
This is why you always have to show your units!
Doesn't the price tag on the shelf usually have a break down per sheet or sqft?
Even if it doesn't, all these packages have the total area listed somewhere on the package. If the $/area isn't listed on the price tag, you can still calculate it manually.
I normally buy Charmin ultra soft at Costco.
I was at target and we were low, so just grabbed some there.
Turns out the rolls (cardboard tube and all) were like an inch less wide. For some reason that extra inch makes me comfortable, and I've been so angry at the Target rolls while I try to use them up. I have big hands.. this kind of shrinkflation can get messy.
